Coreopsis is easy to grow, making it a good choice for beginners. One plant will provide you with long-lasting cut flower bouquets all summer long. Coreopsis is native to North America.

Other Details
The most important part of the plant is its root system. Healthy roots are the foundation of a healthy, vibrant plant. The type of plug container used is based on the specific needs of the plants. Perennials offered as bare root traditionally perform better when planted as bare root.Planted in a specialized mix, potted plants have well established root systems. Top growth stage will vary depending on the current life cycle and time of year when shipped. In Winter and early Spring dormant plants may be shipped. Dormant plants may be planted right away, even before the last frost date.
Most bare root varieties are field grown for at least one season, though Hemerocallis and Hosta are grown for two seasons. The bulk of the soil is removed during the harvesting process and the tops of most varieties are trimmed back to the crown. They are graded, packed in shredded aspen or sphagnum moss and stored in freezers until ready to be shipped.
See our Container Sizes and Bare Root Perennials pages for more information.
Plant information and care is provided in the Overview section, Plant Genus Page and general information is provided in the Planting Care & Guides. Additional questions can be asked on each Plant page.
Plant Spacing: Using the maximum mature spread or width of a plant to guide spacing, ensures space to grow to full size. To fill an area sooner, plant them closer together. Just remember, future thinning or transplanting may be needed.
Water: Keep a close eye on newly planted perennials, especially throughout the first growing year. Most early plant loss is due to too much or too little water!

Moonbeam Coriopsis
They arrived securely contained in a well insulated box. The plants were in a dormant state with thick healthy roots. I am hoping that they will sprout more stems and leaves as spring warms up.

Very statisfied
The plants really came in small pots. They were neatly covered with newspaper, protecting the plants. There were some misplaced soil in the box but nothing major. Though, I was expecting plants that haven’t bloomed yet. But most of them have grown already to a foot bearing flowers. I would just probably trim them later on when their flowers wilt. All in all, I am pleased with this purchase.

Exactly as expected!
I ordered a tray of 24 and it came very nicely packed with plenty of damp newspapers to keep the pots moist. All now planted. I am going to order another tray.
